Ain't that the truth! If I was planning on staying at this house for more than 5 years, I would build it taller, but for what it is, it'll do.

I did pick up some wheel dollies for SGT ex and D though. Really getting ancy to get that truck back together.

Rode a lot today. Ran trails I would never think the Explorer would make. I started wheeling alone, then jumped in with a group of 5 buggies on cut tractor tires and boggers... I slammed, beat, drug, and gouged the axles and links, I wore out the skinny pedal, and SGT Ex kept kicking ass. I did find the biggest weakness... The rear end. I continued to drag and hang it up on almost every trail.

Here are some pics

Mason Jar

Crazy dudes I was following

Fish Fossil.

Where was this at?

Harlan. We didn't take many pics because Kristy still hates the cold.

Here is a list of trails from today:

Mason Jar, trouble, railbed, pinball, profanity, middle rock garden, lower rock garden, fish fossil, white tail, and grape vine.

Going back in the morning to hit a few more.

Harlan looks like fun. Hey which manual hubs and axle shafts are you running in that 44 that can stay in one piece with those tires?

Harlan is my Mecca. I could ride there everyday.

Yukon chromos and Ox super joints. Hubs are unknown. They look factory. I'll ask Dan.

Rode Underestimated Sunday... Holy Bajesus... This has to be one of the toughest trails at the park. Its all good and gravy until the very end... Its a rutted out mess with huge slick rock faces, mud everywhere, downed trees in the trail, just all out ridiculous. Thanks to Warn and a couple fellers that were passing by to help winch, SGT Ex made it out. They all said i was insane. That's definitely a trail i will never run again.

Also blew a tire on the way back home on the trailer. AAA doesn't cover trailers... Thank goodness we were put in contact with Allen's Body Shop in Harlan. These people are amazing. They helped us out on a Sunday, charged us little of nothing, and offered to write a letter to AAA for reimbursement. They have a whole junkyard full of Jaheeps and ferds, and full size chevys. If you need parts in Harlan, look them up.

Here are a few more pics she took with her phone.

We thought it had one, then we noticed it was a six lug trailer, not a 5 lug like the 7 other trailers he has. This was Friday when i went to pick it up...

I had asked him if he'd just sell me the trailer so i could actually fix it (both axles are bent, the floor is toast, electrical is jacked, and 1 of the beams are bent) but he said no. I'll be picking up a 6 lug trailer wheel and a used tire for it though after this experience!

Iirc, the gm 6 lug rim will fit the 6 lug trailer axles....

Center bore on the rims is too small. Tried it. I'm going to see if a yota or Nissan will work
